22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more."
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more."
22 With your enemies thoroughly discredited, their house of cards collapsed."
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing."
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the home of the wicked will be destroyed."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 8:22
Commentary on Job 8:20-22
(Read Job 8:20-22)
Bildad here assures Job, that as he was so he should fare; therefore they concluded, that as he fared so he was. God will not cast away an upright man; he may be cast down for a time, but he shall not be cast away for ever. Sin brings ruin on persons and families. Yet to argue, that Job was an ungodly, wicked man, was unjust and uncharitable. The mistake in these reasonings arose from Job's friends not distinguishing between the present state of trial and discipline, and the future state of final judgment. May we choose the portion, possess the confidence, bear the cross, and die the death of the righteous; and, in the mean time, be careful neither to wound others by rash judgments, nor to distress ourselves needlessly about the opinions of our fellow-creatures.
